Spayed Female ~30 lbs. and counting~ Microchipped & fully vaccinated. Negative for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, and on a monthly preventative Adoption Fee $300
A little bit about me... Hey all, I'm Veruca, an itty bitty pitty with a big girl personality on the hunt for a new home. My siblings and I came to Sun Valley from a chaotic situation and are now ready to make one last move. I am small, but I like to play rough and have fun on my own terms, so I may not be every dog's cup of tea. I am going to benefit from an experienced home that has a good training plan and tons of patience, as I have only just started working on myself since I got to the shelter. I am a smart girl that will need a lot of physical and mental stimulation to keep me happy and healthy, so an active home would be ideal. I am young enough be molded into an amazing pup with the proper guidance by my people, and I guarantee the reward of having me will be worth it!
The highlights... I NEED to be exercised daily I am energetic and very strong MUST own your own home, I'm a restricted breed Very smart, teach me a s much as possible
My ideal home would include... A family that has time, patience, and a plan for potty training. Any dog that's introduced to a new environment is bound to have accidents, whether they're an adult dog or a puppy. I will need my humans to have a plan for potty training and show me where and when I'm expected to go potty.
I am a playful girl who loves to play with friendly dogs, so keeping me social is important. I play well with the other dogs in a playgroup, but they need to be able to keep up with rough play style.
Patience and a plan for training. If not properly worked with any dog can develop bad habits and personalities.

Please be advised we only adopt to AZ residents. We make a commitment to all of our animals. So while we appreciate your interest, we ask that you be a local resident to adopt. We do not always know the full background of each animal and sometimes personalities are not fully shown until a few days in the home. If for whatever reason you cannot keep the animal, we appreciate the animal being returned to our facility. It is costly and time consuming to return an animal from out of state. Please check your local animal shelter to find a forever friend near your area.
We do have adoption fees that are reflective to our adoptable cats and dogs. They will slightly vary depending on the cat or dog. However most of the adoptable pets have the same adoptable fee. We ask that any prospective adopter to come to our location and complete an adoption application. This will be reviewed by a qualified adoption counselor who will sit and visit to interview the adopter on what they are looking for to place the adoptable pet in a forever home. Once approved for adoption, there is paperwork to complete and the adoptable cat or dog will be able to go home that day

More about this shelter
Sun Valley Animal Shelter, Inc., is an Arizona nonprofit corporation with 501(c)3 status which operates a No-Kill shelter in Glendale, Arizona, generally serving the western portion of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The organization was founded in 1991 by a group of Sun City area residents as a foster-based program to provide adoption opportunities for homeless and abandoned dogs and cats. The current facility was built in 1995 and can house 100+ dogs and 100+ cats. The organization receives no government funding and is supported by income from our thrift store profits, adoption fees, membership dues, donations and bequests. We recently received a grant to assist in the construction of a new medical/surgical center at the facility.
The animals taken into our care are housed in a clean, secure environment and are spayed/neutered, microchipped, given all necessary shots and a physical exam. Dedicated volunteers are invaluable in assisting with the daily care and nurturing of our dogs and cats prior to finding a loving home. We are proud to note that in the last several years we have increased adoptions from approximately 300 animals per year to over 1000 animals per year.
